• Lead projects ranging from short-term technology investigations to full-scale product development. Work closely with Product Manager to develop thorough understanding of customers’ requirements.

Analyze requirements and create Product Requirements and Technical Design documentation. Create design that meets the requirements including cost, performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

Accurately estimate BOM cost, NRE cost, regulatory certification cost, development effort, and schedule. Actively manage development through phase-gate process.

Must be able to manage risk and balance requirements vs. technical constraints, cost target, and schedule. Collaborate with Mechanical Engineers, Industrial Designers, NPI Engineers, Regulatory Engineers, Quality Engineers, Production Engineers, Sourcing, and vendors in development efforts to ensure all design requirements are met.

Create PCBA and prototypes for all phases of product development, including Proof of Concept, EVT, and DVT units.Perform engineering analysis, including DFMEA, worst case failure analysis, EMC analysis, derating analysis, and thermal analysis.

Create and execute test plans. Devises appropriate test methods to evaluate and debug electrical and electromechanical systems to ensure products meet performance and reliability specifications.

Work closely with CM / ODM partners, test labs, and regulatory certification agencies to ensure the products meet EMC / EMI, Safety, Energy Efficiency, and Reliability requirements.

Create Design-to-Production transfer related control documentation (schematic, gerber, BOM, firmware, release note, test reports) and manage the release through ECN process.

• Support sustaining engineering and value engineering activities.
• Provide support to Manufacturing Engineers for the creation of QA tools and test scripts.
• Provide support to Customer Service and Quality Engineering teams in resolving customer issues.
• Contribute to the research of emerging technology, industry trend, and competitive analysis.
• Provide mentorship, support, and assistance to less experienced engineers.
